"The Book of Disquiet" is one of Fernando Pessoa's masterpieces, and it is also his long-lost classic in the Chinese market. It is a work that has been lost for a long time. It is mostly a "fake diary" fragment and was collected and compiled by many research experts. This book is the most complete Chinese translation so far, and will also open the door for us to glimpse his vast philosophical universe. Pessoa rarely used his real name in his prose and poetry, but wrote as a "heteronym". In other works, these "idiosyncrasies" even have their own biographies, personalities, political views and literary pursuits. Pessoa shuttles among dozens of "idiosyncrasies" and constantly changes the stance of the essay. Among them, "Bernardo Soares", who appears as an accountant, is the closest to himself. It also presents to the greatest extent his profound understanding of life, destiny, and the world, as well as the self-revelation of a soul on the verge of collapse.
Reader comments
I have never read a book that shocked me so much. I can't imagine how the author expressed his heart so directly. It's simply amazing.
Good to watch and good to sleep series [Like] The author disassembles daily moments, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, examines their essence, absurdity, nihilism, and poetry, and accurately summarizes them from the perspective of "overlooking" and "spectating". When the mood matches, I will flip through it casually, as if dragging a frustrated old friend to complain face to face. This friend is cold and has a weird sense of humor. Marvel at his talent, be impressed by how easy it is to sleep with the chatter, and then put your friend in the refrigerator when you are in a good mood [laughs]
Follow the author's thoughts and conduct a comprehensive intellectual and emotional exploration. The unique language style, profound ideological tension, and bizarre narrative structure all make us feel the author's great charm.
This book is very special. The author expresses his feelings about life through the identity of a "heterogeneous person", which reminded me of the friends around me with different personalities. Some of the ideas in the book also resonated with me, such as thoughts on fate and the world. I think this book is suitable for reading on a quiet evening and will bring a lot of inspiration.
A great book that you will never tire of reading
It describes the inner conflicts of people, the complexity of human nature, and the difficulty of getting along with others.
